College students and recent graduates interested in launching or advancing careers in information technology are invited to a special Employer Meet and Greet hosted by UH Maui College. The event will be held on April 24, 4—6 p.m. in the Pā‘ʻna Building on campus.
In partnership with the Chamber of Commerce Hawaiʻi and the Pacific Center for Advanced Technology Training (PCATT), this event goes beyond a typical career fair.
“This is not a typical ‘career fair’,” said Debasis Bhattacharya, UH Maui College professor of IT and program director of applied business and information technology. “This will be an active session where local students and recent graduates interested in the IT field will meet and speak directly with employers actively seeking to fill IT positions at their companies, all in a casual and friendly environment.”
Confirmed employers include:
- Amentum
- Network 2000
- Ohana Pacific Health
- Hawaiʻi Off Grid (Architecture & Engineering)
- Pacific Millworks
- Hawaiian Electric
Attendees are encouraged to bring several copies of their resumes and come with questions about career opportunities, certifications and educational pathways in the IT field. Free parking is available at UH Maui College’s main lot off Wahinepio Avenue.
The event also features career support from HR professionals with SHRM Hawaiʻi–Maui Educational Foundation, who will offer resume assistance and mock interview practice on-site.
“This is an excellent opportunity to connect with both local and national IT employers, expand your professional network, have your resume reviewed, get career advice, and learn about pathways into IT careers through certifications and degrees,” said Bhattacharya.
